"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the final stage of the Japan Barista Championship. After the first two rounds of competition, five contestants from all over the country who passed the preliminary round will be expected to win the championship of this year's Japan Barista Competition. They are ......"
With the introduction of the host in turn, the five players who entered the final stage also came to the center of the venue, looking at the audience around the hall that was many times more than in the morning, Sakurako's mood couldn't help but surge.
Creative coffee is the development of a new way of drinking coffee that is completely different from the traditional coffee before. This also means that this link is actually a test of the barista's own innovation ability. Because of the different focus of the investigation, the coffee cups used in Creative Coffee are completely different from the previous two links. Baristas can choose different utensils according to their creativity and needs to make amazing new coffee.
After the referee on the field announced the official start of the game, the players present also began to get busy. Soon, the audience at the scene noticed that there were many things that had never been seen in the coffee house at the finals of the barista competition.
"Let's see what kind of special coffee the players on the field are going to make! Izaki from Maruyama Coffee, wait a minute, is he going to mix cocktails on the spot?"
With the host's surprised introduction, the cameras on the field quickly focused on the bar where Maruyama Coffee was located. At this moment, Izaki was seen to introduce cold water mixed with ice cubes into the cold brew pot to extract the coffee. Ice water is poured in, but because the coffee itself is compatible with water, the ice water in the pot can dissolve the active ingredients in the ground coffee very slowly. Compared with traditional dark coffee, the biggest advantage of iced coffee is that it removes the sour taste of the coffee itself, which is not easy to cause any stomach upset, and at the same time, iced coffee is also easier to pair with other drinks, so as to have a richer expression in taste.
Because the finals allowed the players to prepare in advance, the ice-brewing process, which would have lasted for hours, began long before the competition officially began. Hidenori Izaki looked at the half-pot of coffee in the coffee pot and estimated that it should be enough for four cups of creative coffee, and just then, he pulled out a cocktail glass of the kind that is commonly found in bars. The icy cold brew coffee is poured into the mixometer glass, then some cherry-flavored bitts are added to the mix, and when everything is ready, the coffee with the cocktail culture is poured into the prepared cocktail glass, and then a cherry is inserted into the glass with a toothpick, and Maruyama Coffee's creative coffee creation is completed.
"Ah...... Maruyama Coffee's Izaki was the first to complete his work, and he brought ...... to everyone A creative coffee with a cocktail called Melus, the perfect combination of coffee and cocktail culture...... What a brain-opening idea!"
Just after Hidenori Izaki was the first to complete his own work, Katsumi Tokai from Kyoto's 100% Arabica Coffee also finished his own work, bringing a layered coffee called Undercurrent, which uses a combination of iced cream with espresso and vanilla seed syrup. The coffee in the cup is clearly divided into two layers.
As the two most dazzling players on the field completed their works one after another, only Sakurako was still preparing her own iced coffee in a hurry among the remaining three players. Sakurako kept looking at the thermometer outside the container, and seemed to be very concerned about the temperature of the ice brew. Other than that, she didn't do anything else.
Two more contestants completed their own creations, and the creative coffee they brought was ...... Eggnog latte and butter coffee, it seems that everyone has a very strong interest in the combination of coffee and cocktail culture! The other two contestants coincidentally chose a new idea for milk coffee, so ...... Miss Sakurako from Sakurano Cafe in Tokyo is going to surprise us again? Wait, is he still making cold brew coffee?
Just as the time for the game was running out, Sakurako finally got into action, only to see her take out four pre-chilled beer glasses from under the counter, and then pour the iced coffee she had been preparing since the beginning into four beer glasses. Immediately after, Sakurako took out a nitrogen cylinder and began her final processing.
"Wait a minute, what is Sakurako-sama doing, is he going to gas the coffee......?
Under the unanimous gaze of the audience, Sakurako quickly injected a large amount of nitrogen into the iced brew coffee she made. And then the coffee began to have a rich foaming effect similar to that of beer.
"It's ...... I didn't expect Miss Sakurako to turn coffee into beer in front of everyone's eyes. But can just adding gas really give coffee a beer-like taste? I'm curious!"
When Sakurako finished her work, the audience couldn't help but wonder what the coffee alcohol tasted like that seemed beyond common sense.
At the end of the game, the four referees came to the field again and began to taste the creative coffee prepared by the players one by one, and when they finished tasting one player's work, they would rinse their mouths with water and taste the next. It wasn't until they had tasted all the works that they immediately gathered together for a lively discussion.
Ten minutes later, when the referees delivered the final result to the host, the host immediately announced loudly.
"The winner of this year's Japan Barista Contest is ...... Miss Sakurako Sakura from Tokyo Sakurano Sakura Coffee!"
With the host's announcement, Lin Xiuyi and other Sakurako's friends couldn't help jumping up from the audience. Sakurako stood in place with a look of surprise. Then, after the other players gradually accepted the result, the former opponents also walked to Sakurako to congratulate her.
……
"Let's congratulate this year's new champion, Ms. Sakurako Sakurai from Sakurano Sakurato Coffee in Tokyo, and the judge's evaluation of her dark beer coffee is ...... With a taste and texture that is completely on par with German stouts, the configuration is bold and simple, opening up an unprecedented path for coffee innovation. Miss Sakurako, may I ask ...... How the hell did you come up with your coffee beer?"
"Actually, it was because my friend came to the store one day and said that he really wanted to drink beer, but because of his work, he could only use coffee to relieve his fatigue, and I thought to myself, how nice it would be if there was a drink that had both the taste of beer and the effect of coffee, so I ...... I made this coffee on the fly. That's it......"
"I see, it's a creative coffee created because of friendship, and we congratulate Sakurako-sama on Sakurako-samato Cafe, who won the Japan Barista Contest in just one year after starting her business. ”
